Dark blue and green(where I hunt)....is Oct 18 and it's one bird only.....suppose I could try public land in your areas...but have a hard enough time not being shot on our own land....[&o]

Still trying to confirm the cougar text from his friend....big cat...my mind keeps going to the 4:30 am walks to my stands in the dark and thinking something like that could have been out there in the dark....bears never bothered me ...little afraid of bumping a skunk and having been circled by yotes...has kept me at full alert on those walks but wouldn't stand much of a chance.... I fear from something like that cat..[:o]

yeah i understand i have been stalked twice leaving the woods spooky to say the least

Called DEC today and the cat text is a hoax going around the web....shot some place out west....still got me thinking about those long dark walks through the woods...funny...hunting is about the only time I'm not afraid to walk the land at dark...well here at home NEVER at camp...I do but usually hairs breath from jumping out of my skin ...until I hit the stand...[&:]
